I am a practitioner at Healing Wave Aquatics because I am committed to using aquatic therapy in service of breaking the cycles of trauma in my own personal history, as well as sharing what I’ve learned with anyone whom I have the honor to work, so that they too may forge a new path forward. I have seen firsthand the profound effects of untreated post-traumatic stress in Veterans in multiple generations of my family, and working for this organization has given me the opportunity to embrace the chance to give back to the veteran community of San Diego in the best way I know how. Showing people what the water has to offer them is one of my greatest joys, and I feel so blessed to be able to share it with as many people as possible.

I love seeing the transformation of our veterans—helping them where they are and providing for opportunities of healing in the pool. It’s so rewarding to see the transformation of our “floatees” from the beginning of a weekly session to its end. This amazing warm water bodywork work is so profound and continues to integrate into all aspects of their lives. So much changes for each participant, and as practitioners, we grow exponentially.
